How high can the Honda CR-V be submerged in water without issues?

[CassidyMarie]

It is generally safe as long as the exhaust pipe does not take in water. Below are relevant details: 1. Principle: Avoid driving if water reaches half the height of the wheels. Wading capability is only a reference—exceeding half the tire diameter means the vehicle may float, causing loss of tire traction. Even if the engine doesn't take in water or stall, the car could drift or encounter other issues. 2. Low air intake inlet: Since the engine air intake inlet is positioned low, water can be sucked into the engine during wading. 3. Exhaust outlet below the waterline: If the exhaust pipe outlet is submerged below the waterline, water may be drawn into the engine through it.
